Quarterly reviews prevent obsolete versions, dates and advice. They are not artificial date changes: each update should represent a real review of claims, sources and links.
The useful answer depends on the purpose of the page, the people allowed to edit it and the cost of an error. A reliable workflow separates editorial decisions, technical delivery and final verification instead of hiding all three inside one automated operation.
The decision to make first
Prioritise by obsolescence risk. AI models, laws, tools and prices age quickly; fundamental methods change more slowly. Assign an interval and owner.
A practical method
- Classify content by volatility and business importance.
- Compare claims with current primary sources.
- Test links, screenshots and examples.
- Update body, summary and structured data together.
- Record the reason in version history.
Checks before publishing
- The source of truth is explicit and can be restored.
- URLs, dates and visible claims match the delivered page.
- A human reviewer can reproduce the check without a hidden service.
The main pitfall
Changing only the year creates artificial freshness while obsolete instructions remain in the body.
Recommended next step
Create a review queue with status, owner, last check, next due date and risk level.
